00:01:02,11 --> 00:01:06,44
What's Wrong With This Picture a covered
wagon on a modern Boulevard is out of

2
00:01:06,44 --> 00:01:13,31
place a session of transportation on
a modern highway there is another

3
00:01:13,31 --> 00:01:13,75
picture

4
00:01:13,75 --> 00:01:18,36
that has something wrong with modern
transportation on an old fashioned highway

5
00:01:21,61 --> 00:01:25,46
the common everyday spectacle
of modern traffic on roads

6
00:01:25,46 --> 00:01:30,67
that are as out of date as the covered
wagon early automobiles were built for one

7
00:01:30,67 --> 00:01:33,67
for transportation from place to place

8
00:01:34,69 --> 00:01:40,38
but from plain utility engineering features
have developed through the years ease

9
00:01:40,39 --> 00:01:43,93
and comfort of travel habits
danced with the power

10
00:01:43,93 --> 00:01:50,33
and speed of up to date motor cars cars
have been designed with improved pickup for

11
00:01:50,33 --> 00:01:56,30
passing with greater safety on narrow roads
they have been built with extra power

12
00:01:56,30 --> 00:01:59,65
and speed enough for even
the best roads built today.

13
00:02:01,54 --> 00:02:06,88
Cars today have been designed to ride
comfortably even on the bad roads we still

14
00:02:06,88 --> 00:02:07,12
have.

15
00:02:07,59 --> 00:02:13,82
Because they can absorb the phone without
disturbing the passengers they can stop

16
00:02:13,82 --> 00:02:18,50
quickly and safely on any
road cars or progress

17
00:02:19,33 --> 00:02:23,15
but many roads have stood still roads

18
00:02:23,16 --> 00:02:28,53
that are not so modern as the traffic they
carry cause congestion congested city

19
00:02:28,53 --> 00:02:29,45
speeds hinder

20
00:02:29,45 --> 00:02:35,13
and delay the movement of traffic cause
confusion at busy crowded corners

21
00:02:36,98 --> 00:02:38,47
the careful driver realizes

22
00:02:38,47 --> 00:02:42,56
that he cannot drive out of
date roads in the same way

23
00:02:42,56 --> 00:02:48,20
that he can safely drive on our finest
highways on roads like these we slow down

24
00:02:48,91 --> 00:02:55,86
and avoid the hazards of blind crossing we
drive cautiously at railroad crossing by

25
00:02:55,86 --> 00:03:01,09
limiting our speed to the condition of the
road we reduce the hazards of such out

26
00:03:01,09 --> 00:03:06,40
of date. Rule No highway is
the place for reckless speed.

27
00:03:07,22 --> 00:03:13,24
The driver who must race should do his
driving on a racetrack roads are getting

28
00:03:13,24 --> 00:03:17,89
better. Many highways are been designed
that eliminate dangers and delays.

29
00:03:19,67 --> 00:03:21,09
It almost every city

30
00:03:21,09 --> 00:03:25,93
and county in the United States great
progress in road building is being made by

31
00:03:25,93 --> 00:03:27,08
the highway engineers

32
00:03:27,08 --> 00:03:32,34
and public spirited citizens who
realize the great contribution

33
00:03:32,34 --> 00:03:36,00
that improved highways
are making to progress

34
00:03:36,00 --> 00:03:39,03
and safety roads have been engineered

35
00:03:39,78 --> 00:03:45,17
that are as safe as the modern automobile
wide straight roads with special lanes

36
00:03:45,17 --> 00:03:47,61
reserved for passing have been laid out so

37
00:03:47,61 --> 00:03:52,86
that thousands of motorists can drive on
them in heavy traffic swiftly with comfort

38
00:03:52,86 --> 00:03:59,44
and safety curves have been
scientifically banked to make the car

39
00:03:59,44 --> 00:03:59,96
holder.

40
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:05,88
Road easily as usual driving speed lighting
experts have contributed their study of

41
00:04:05,88 --> 00:04:10,95
the problem of lighting street intersections
many highways have been lighted with

42
00:04:10,95 --> 00:04:16,76
new and improved methods roads that
have already been built can be widened

43
00:04:16,76 --> 00:04:22,99
and made safer the state of New Jersey
uses fire walls to spread apart these five

44
00:04:22,99 --> 00:04:28,67
hundred tons slabs of concrete the moving
is repeated until a wide space between

45
00:04:28,67 --> 00:04:35,00
the slab separates traffic into lanes with
a landscape partway strip in the center

46
00:04:35,72 --> 00:04:41,11
part ways separate traffic going in opposite
directions into smoothly moving one

47
00:04:41,11 --> 00:04:47,70
way street in the city to Adventureland
road construction bring about savings in

48
00:04:47,70 --> 00:04:51,98
time and the elimination
of trouble on the ground.

49
00:04:52,02 --> 00:04:55,18
We can see what modern roads
need to our own comfort

50
00:04:55,18 --> 00:05:01,74
and safety from the air the modern road
builders can see what such improvements can

51
00:05:01,74 --> 00:05:08,69
mean in mass handling of cars we can see
from the air all the wide street smooth

52
00:05:08,69 --> 00:05:11,45
surface tile way keeps both passenger

53
00:05:11,45 --> 00:05:17,97
and commercial traffic moving we can see
how highways with separate lanes for

54
00:05:17,97 --> 00:05:23,43
traffic speed all motorists on their way
every such advance in road construction

55
00:05:24,43 --> 00:05:29,31
makes possible greater accessibility of the
farm with greater freedom for tourists

56
00:05:29,31 --> 00:05:35,03
and trailer heavy trucks are able to move
on the highways without interfering with

57
00:05:35,03 --> 00:05:41,58
other traffic where highways cross roads
are a traffic circles have been designed

58
00:05:41,58 --> 00:05:47,40
such designs enable cars approaching from
all directions to make turns without

59
00:05:47,40 --> 00:05:47,76
confusion

60
00:05:48,90 --> 00:05:54,36
and even a very complex intersection you
types of circles keep cars moving with

61
00:05:54,36 --> 00:05:59,41
speed and safety the four leaf
clover design handles heavy traffic.

62
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:05,87
Intersection the cloverleaf eliminates
left hand turn where to blow streams of

63
00:06:05,87 --> 00:06:12,43
traffic cut across each other variations
of the cloverleaf have been developed at

64
00:06:12,43 --> 00:06:19,07
congested corners in the country separating
intersecting thoroughfares by overhead

65
00:06:19,07 --> 00:06:25,02
bridges of the crossing point makes for
safety because one road is elevated above

66
00:06:25,02 --> 00:06:31,06
the other through highway crossings
have been made while in the city grid

67
00:06:31,06 --> 00:06:33,14
separation means a smooth flow of traffic

68
00:06:33,88 --> 00:06:39,40
that even the busiest hours the elimination
of railroad great crossings has been

69
00:06:39,40 --> 00:06:44,68
one of the most important safety developed
railroad underpass ever prove their

70
00:06:44,68 --> 00:06:46,44
value with saving time and life.

71
00:06:46,85 --> 00:06:50,89
Wherever they have been
built a network of roads

72
00:06:50,89 --> 00:06:55,51
and underpasses leading to the George
Washington bridge across the Hudson River

73
00:06:55,51 --> 00:06:56,19
between New York

74
00:06:56,19 --> 00:07:01,92
and New Jersey greatly simplifies the
handling of traffic bridge approaches are

75
00:07:01,92 --> 00:07:03,89
wide enough to carry traffic volumes.

76
00:07:04,01 --> 00:07:09,52
Not only for today but for years to
come modern bridges are strong enough

77
00:07:09,52 --> 00:07:15,06
and wide enough to carry traffic streams far
heavier than those of the average road.

78
00:07:16,49 --> 00:07:20,96
The new bridges such as the Triborough
Bridge in New York will do away with the

79
00:07:20,96 --> 00:07:26,12
bottlenecks of traffic and free drivers
from delay over miles of approaching road.

80
00:07:27,88 --> 00:07:33,13
The poll last Kerio Skyway from Jersey City
to Newark New Jersey carries thousands

81
00:07:33,13 --> 00:07:33,73
of cars a day.

82
00:07:34,87 --> 00:07:40,26
I ways like this at Alexandria in Louisiana
are the road builders answer to the

83
00:07:40,26 --> 00:07:45,80
advancements made by automobile engineer
with the new highways come to advances in

84
00:07:45,80 --> 00:07:50,39
engineering you standards of
comfort you records of economy

85
00:07:50,39 --> 00:07:54,36
and up of all the savings
of man's greatest at

86
00:07:54,36 --> 00:07:59,92
that time throughout the United States
the American public has shown a.

87
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:02,76
It's interesting in the work
of improving the highways.

88
00:08:03,74 --> 00:08:09,30
We must all encourage the road builders of
today who have given those few roads the

89
00:08:09,30 --> 00:08:15,42
groan contributing so much to public
safety you rolled over the grow.

90
00:08:15,69 --> 00:08:19,26
Adding to the usefulness
of the entire road system.

91
00:08:19,31 --> 00:08:23,89
You won't see under the water
saving time for the motorists

92
00:08:24,68 --> 00:08:28,70
and you rolled over the
water to keep America safe.

93
00:08:28,71 --> 00:08:31,67
The record the finest in the world.
